Acts 11

1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

Gentile te in zong Pathian thu sang zo uh hi, ci Judah ngamsung ah a om sawltak te le suapui te in za uh hi.

2 And when Peter had come to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

Taciang Peter sia Jerusalem ah a thet ciang in, vunteap tan te in ama nalh uh a,

3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

Vunteap at ngawl te kung ah na pai a, amate taw an na ne hi, ci uh hi.

4 But Peter rehearsed [the matter] from the beginning, and expounded [it] by order to them, saying,

Ahihang Peter in tua thu sia a kipat pan in sonkik a, a ban a ban in amate son siat hi,

5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:

Joppa khua ah thu ka nget laitak in, mang ka mu na sung ah, puanlam zai mama taw a kibang kingli nei na koina khat van pan hong ki khiasuk a, ka kung ah hong theng hi:

6 Upon which when I had fastened my eyes, I considered, and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping animals, and fowls of the air.

A tung ah phatak in ka en a, ka ngaisut ciang in, a sung ah leitung nganhing peang li nei a tatuam, sapi te, a bokvak te le van a leang vacim te ka mu hi.

7 And I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

Taciang aw khat ka za a, Peter awng, tho in, ngo in a, ne in, hong ci hi.

8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.

Ahihang keima in, hi ngawl hi, Topa awng: banghangziam cile a nin, ahible, a thiangtho ngawl peuma ka kamsung ah bangmahun in tum ngei ngawl hi, ka ci hi.

9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.

Ahihang van pan in tua aw in, Pathian i a thianthosak te nangma in nin hi ci heak in, ci in hong zo kik hi.

10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

Hisia bang in thumvei dong hong ci hi: taciang a vekpi in van ah lato kik siat hi.

11 And behold, immediately there were three men already come to the house where I was, sent from Cesarea to me.

Taciang, en vun, tasia pociang in Caesarea pan hong kisawl mihing thum te sia ka omna mun inn ah hong theng uh hi.

12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover, these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

Taciang in bangma ngaisun nawn ngawl in amate taw pai tu in Thaa in hong sawl hi. Tuabek domngawl in hi suapui luk te in hong zui uh hi, taciang Corneliua innsung ah tum tek khu hi:

13 And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;

Taciang Cornelius in a innsung ah vantungmi a mu na thu hong son hi, tua vantungmi sia ding a a kung ah, Joppa khua ah mi sawl in a, Peter a kici Simon sam in;

14 Who shall tell thee words, by which thou and all thy house shall be saved.

Ama in thu hong hil tu a, tabang in nangma le na innkuan bup in ngupna na nga tu uh hi, ci in son hi.

15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

Taciang thuhil ka kipan a, a kipat in kote tung ah Tha Thiangtho hong thet bangma in amate tung zong ah theng hi.

16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

Tua zawkciang in, John in tui taw tuiphumna hong pia takpi hi; ahihang note Tha Thiangtho taw tuiphumna na sang tu uh hi, a ci Topa kammal ka phawkkik hi.

17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as [he did] to us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I that I could withstand God?

Banghangziam cile Pathian in Topa Jesus Christ a um te tung ah letsong a piak sia, kote hongpiak taw a kibang a hihi; Pathian khak zo tu in keima sia akua khi ziam? ci hi.

18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance to life.

Amate in hi thu te a zak uh ciang in, thim khipkhep in om uh a, Pathian in Gentile mite zong nuntakna atu maw ki sikkik na pia zohi, ci in Pathian poktek uh hi.

19 Now they who were dispersed upon the persecution that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but to the Jews only.

Stephen thu pan vawtsiatna hang in mun tatuam ah a ki thethang te sia, Phoenicia, Cyprus le Antioch ciang dong pai a, Pathian thu midang te tung ah hil ngawl in Judah mite tung bek ah hil hi.

20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.

Ahihang Cyprus le Cyrene a om mi pawlkhat te in, Antioch a thet ciang in, Greek te paupui a, Topa Jesus thuhil hi.

21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.

Taciang Topa khut amate tung ah om hi: tabang in mi tampi te in um uh a, Topa kung ah hong heakkik uh hi.

22 Then tidings of these things came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.

Tua zawkciang in hi thupha sia Jerusalem pawlpi dong ah hong theng hi: taciang amate in Barnabas sia Antioch dong pai tu in sawl uh hi.

23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all that with purpose of heart they would cleave to the Lord.

Barnabas sia Antioch a thet ciang in Pathian i hesuakna mu a, angtang mama hi, taciang amate theampo in thinsung ngealna taw Topa beal tu in hanthawn hi.

24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith: and many people were added to the Lord.

Banghangziam cile Barnabas sia mipha hi a, Tha Thiangtho le upna taw kidim hi: taciang mi tampi te Topa kung ah kibelap hi.

25 Then Barnabas departed to Tarsus, to seek Saul:

Tua zawkciang in Barnabas sia Saul zong tu in Tarsus ah pai hi:

26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

A mu ngawl ciang in Antioch ah paipui hi. Ama te sia kum khat sung buppi pawlpi taw kikhawm uh a, mi tampi te thuhil hi. Taciang nungzui te sia, Christian te, a kici phitbel na sia Antioch khua ah a hihi.

27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch.

Tua hun sung in kamsang te sia Jerusalem pan in Antioch ah hongpai uh hi.

28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cesar.

Amate sung pan Agabus a kici kamsang khat hong ding a, leitung mun theampo ah kialpi tung tu hi, ci in thaa in telsak hi: tua kialpi sia Claudius Caesar hun lai in tung hi.

29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judea.

Nungzui te in amate hi thei za tek taw Judah ngam a om suapui te hu na thak tu in khensatna nei tek uh a:

30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

Amate in upa te kung ah Barnabas le Saul te khut tungtawn in thak uh hi.
